This long cork wallet is printed all over with a dense geometric mosaic, where deep blue, terracotta and ochre sit against the pale grain of the cork. Open it and the lining switches to plain beige fabric, with a zipped pocket for coins and stacked slots for cards.
It measures 20x10.50cm, so notes lie flat instead of being folded in half. A printed tab fastens across the width onto a press stud.
The beige fabric lining gives the space three clear jobs. A zipped coin pocket sits on the left, card slots stack above one another so you can thumb through them, and open sleeves take notes at full length. Nothing is buried behind a flap you have to lift twice.
Squares, crosses and fan shapes interlock across every outer panel in blue, terracotta and ochre. Step back and the pattern settles into one mosaic; up close you can still see the cork grain showing through the ink, which keeps it from looking like printed fabric.
The outer flap and the spine are left bare, in the honey tone of raw cork with its dark flecks and fine streaks. Closed, the wallet is mostly pattern; opened, it is mostly plain. That contrast is what gives the model its character.
A printed tab and press stud run across the full width, so the wallet still shuts neatly when it is full and there is no zip to work around at the till. The corners are rounded, so the printed panels meet without a hard edge.

If you carry your wallet loose in a bag, this one is easy to spot by sight alone. If you would rather something quieter, the flap and gusset models take the same long format in other finishes.
The model carries the Systyle Paris label. Here that shows as pattern on the panels and bare cork on the flap, instead of a single uniform surface.
